LYRICS "SONG TO THE SEA"

I beg you raise your water to the feet of mine
so I can dip my toes, remember what it's like
just feeling free and having all the time I need

THIS IS WHY I SING A SONG TO THE SEA
I think of salt and sun and slightly blowing winds
I think of how I've cursed those rotten old love things
just riding on nobody tells me where to be

THIS IS WHY I SING A SONG TO THE SEA

the dancing dunes are doing dishes with my brain
the disco drums are driving discords down to drain
I remain a bit then go on a bit, the tide comes and goes as I breath

THIS IS WHY I SING A SONG TO THE SEA

been waiting all my life for something that's going to stay
been waiting all my life for something that won't go away
I thought everything's dissolving, now found something that is going to be

THIS IS WHY I SING A SONG TO THE SEA

now I'm back to grey town
the city lights arise
they're burning my soul down
I slowly recognize
that king prawns on concrete
ain't something that I need
I never felt at ease
with all this city heat





THIS IS WHY I SING A SONG TO THE SEA
